Lab 3: Mitosis and Meiosis

Purpose:

The purpose of this lab was to recognize the stages as well as events of mitosis and meiosis in a plant cell or an animal cell. The relative duration of each stage in the cell cycle will also be learned during this lab. By doing this lab we will also create a model of and understand the process of crossing over. This lab also helps students understand the similarities along with differences between mitosis and meiosis.

Hypothesis:

I predict that interphase will be the longest phase because many events such as a cell growth and chromosome replication occur during interphase, which I believe, would be a long process. I also think that the frequency of crossing over is affected by the distance between genes. I believe that mitosis and meiosis have very clear differences such as in the cells produced. I think that recognizing the stages of mitosis within our onion cell will be relatively easy.
